Went to Redline tonight and ran a string of 6.0s. Last pass of the night I went:

1.49 60' :mad:
3.955 330'
5.983 1/8th
122.10 MPH


3450 lb. "street car" 331/ 76mm turbo and a stick! Car is pretty lazy right now esp. on the 60' so it got some .80s. I think I am finally figuring this boost controller out. Just by minor adj. on it I picked up nearly 1 tenth.

You beat me to it A.J.


I ran a personal best also tonight, had trouble with the spray all night but got one good one out of it at the end.
The little 9" tires didn't like it much. I'll have to work on that a bit.

1.4798 - 60 ft
3.9322 - 330 ft
5.9371 - 1/8
122.45 - 1/8 mph

Let me get that 60ft down and we'll see what's left.

Both of you have bad ass running cars. The MPH is insane. One day my Malibu will be running again and my goal is a 5.99999999 :D

For now I have the heavy ass TA going and got a new best tonight with it too. All motor 95% of the weight is still in it +my 205lbs

1.62 60ft
7.34 1/8th
94.5 mph

That pass was againt Grayhorse's brother I red lit bad though. Had a blast last night.

I did create a monster though. Let the wify drive once at the end of the night (since it is HER car) and she was nervous as hell first time to do a burnot or go down the track. She still managed a 8.08 and wants to go back ASAP so she can say she went a 7.xx :D

That shit sucks right there. I had that happen once when i didn't latch the wheel back on good. :o I didn't hit anything but it sure can send you into panic mode pretty quick when the car has the front end 3 feet off the ground and the steering wheel falls off into your lap. :eek:

Thanks everyone for the compliments. Once I get the suspension/launch figured out its got some real good 5 sec. passes in it. Also I want to thank all the people who have helped me over the past months---you know who you are :)


aj, you going to run true street in ennis?


Hopefully I will make it. I need to get some new ET Streets. If not, I am going to try and do some TNT @ Ennis on Fri. Spetter is suppose to be in town so we might try and get a more aggressive tune on the car. The one thats on it right now was done w/o a dyno or even driving it.
